PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

AUTODESK, INC., Manchester, NH

Principal Engineer and Lead Developer (2000 – 2012)

Evaluated software as due diligence in the acquisition of software from BOSS, International, Inc. to determine the practicality of acquiring the software.

• Led a team of 13 developers in India, 2 developers in China, and several on-site team members representing Quality Assurance, Product Design and Technical Publications. The team integrated acquired software into Autodesk Civil 3D to provide users of those products with a Water Analysis solution. The integration involved porting Delphi code to C# .NET Assemblies.

• Designed and developed shared, cross-product SQLite databases to enable collaboration of data models across Autodesk products.

• Designed and developed prototypes for ASP.NET web applications to perform Water Analysis on Civil 3D data models.

• Fixed defects, ported 3rdparty software and ported installation framework for Autodesk Storm and Sanitary Analysis 2013. This provided a Water Analysis solution for users of Civil 3D 2013 and Map 3D 2013 software (using C# for the business logic and Delphi for the user interface; Data storage included Oracle databases and proprietary formats).

• Designed and developed the Catchment object and algorithms to determine the surface triangles that contribute runoff to a given location on a surface (using C++ and C#; Data storage using a proprietary file format).

• Ported several acquired Hydrology and Hydraulic products to VB.NET to be integrated into Civil 3D

• Designed and developed data conversion applications to enable users to migrate data from legacy civil engineering product to new civil engineering product (using C++ for Win32 file I/O, XML, COM; Data storage using proprietary file formats and Microsoft Access databases).

• Developed UI for the Points feature to allow users to create and edit coordinate geometry points (authoring several custom UI controls using C++ MFC Controls).

• Enhanced the Alignment and Surface features in Autodesk Civil 3D to enable users to create and edit those objects more efficiently (using C++; Data storage using a proprietary file format).

• Led a team of 5 developers in Shanghai, China and Singapore to maintain and enhance Autodesk Land Development Desktop R2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 (using C++; Data formats included proprietary file formats and MS Access databases).

QA Software Engineer (1997 – 2001)

• Led a team of 2 QA software engineers for the Whitebox and Automated Testing Laboratory to automate the integration testing of Civil 3D.

• Performed White Box testing for seven major releases of AutoCAD products including automated test scripts and programs, code coverage analyses (Code Complete), advanced error detection analyses (BoundsChecker), and code reviews.

• Created COM servers to test the COM API in AutoCAD Land Development Desktop (using C

• Developed (intra-net) websites for Land Development and Test Development (using HTML and ASP).

CWCOSTELLO, INC., Nashua, NH
